II.1.4) Short description
CITB’s Skills & Training in the UK Construction Industry survey has been running since 2008; this iteration of the survey will be the eighth wave. The original survey was commissioned because although there was a wealth of surveys1 on employers skill needs both within the construction industry and nationally; it was thought that none of these provided data representative of the whole construction industry.
This year we would like to further develop the Skills & Training survey to incorporate analysis from other relevant surveys (such as those discussed above) on skill issues and commitment to workforce development. Thereby creating an effective single source of evidence representative of the current issues regarding skills and training within the UK construction industry.
Without commissioning this research, there would be a gap in the evidence base which is used by CITB to make key strategic decisions. this award notice follows on from previous ones as they were incorrectly created for the value of 1 year not 5 year contract.
